Gorman is not in the starting lineup Sunday versus the Dodgers.

Gorman will take a seat as the Cardinals face off with Clayton Kershaw on the mound Sunday. Juan Yepez will take over at designated hitter and bat fifth in the series finale with Los Angeles.

Bae is not in the starting lineup Sunday versus the Diamondbacks, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Bae will get a breather after he went 4-for-8 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in the first two games of the series. Rodolfo Castro will draw the start at second base in the rubber match with Arizona.

Stott is not in the starting lineup against the Cubs on Sunday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Stott drove in a pair of runs while hitting at the top of the lineup in Saturday's rout of the Cubs, but he'll open Sunday's finale against Chicago on the bench. Josh Harrison is starting at second base with Stott out and hitting eighth.

Garcia is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Garcia is out of the lineup for a second consecutive contest. The 23-year-old infielder opens Sunday's game against Detroit on the bench while Michael Chavis gets the start at second base and hits seventh.

India (knee) is starting at designated hitter and batting leadoff Sunday against the Yankees.

India exited Saturday's contest after he fouled a ball of his knee, but he avoided a major injury and is ready to go Sunday. The 26-year-old has recorded at least one hit in four out of the last five games, batting .250 with a double, an RBI and four runs scored over that stretch.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 win over Pittsburgh.

Marte homered in the first inning to give the Diamondbacks an early and later had the first of back-to-back infield singles that resulted in a run. Prior to the second of the those infield hits, Marte and Josh Rojas executed a double steal, putting a runner in scoring position for Corbin Carroll to knock in. Marte has heated up in May, posting a .323 average (21-for-65) with 10 walks over 17 games.

Gorman went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk Saturday in a 6-5 win against the Dodgers.

The game was tied 3-3 in the eighth inning when Gorman came up to the plate with two on and one out. The 23-year-old unknotted the score with a three-run blast to right field that ended up providing just enough of a margin to give the Cardinals the win. Gorman extended his hitting streak to 11 contests with Saturday's performance, and he's batting .432 (16-for-37) with six homers and 16 RBI over the red-hot stretch.

X-rays returned negative on India's knee after he left Saturday's extra-inning loss to the Yankees, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

India left the game after fouling a ball off his knee. The infielder was able to continue as a pinch runner, but he was unable to play defense, with Kevin Newman taking over at second base. India should be considered day-to-day, and there's a decent chance he'll get Sunday off as a precaution.

Garcia will sit Saturday against the Tigers, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Garcia hits the bench after starting 21 straight games at second base. He's making plenty of contact this season, striking out just 12.0 percent of the time, but that's resulted in only a modest .255/.301/.359 slash line. Ildemaro Vargas will spell him at the keystone Saturday.

Hoerner (hamstring) went 3-for-6 with two doubles and four RBI in Friday's 10-1 win over the Phillies.

Hoerner provided the four RBI from the leadoff spot, which shows how productive Chicago's lineup was from top to bottom. The infielder had just returned from the injured list before the game, so he was able to pick up right where he left off. Hoerner is now batting a robust .310 this season and should continue to be a strong fantasy performer.
